Another major lesson comes out of Santiago, an area of relatively weak shaking.
For example, in a finding that is causing some researchers to rethink their predictive powers, scientists are puzzling over why there appeared to be so much shaking in a rock-solid place like Seattle's Seward Park, while there was relatively little shaking in Boeing Field, where sediments might have been expected to wiggle like a bowl of Jell-O.
The source directivity might be responsible for the relatively large shaking, up to large epicentral distances.
Since the strengths of the liquefiable soils (SM and ML) are low, the evidence of soil liquefaction in this area can be easily observed when shaken by relatively larger ground motion.
But on 25 April, it was reduced to rubble by the magnitude 7.8 Gorkha earthquake even though many one- and two-story buildings escaped the shaking relatively unscathed.
But in the past 10 years, PETA's innovative high-concept, high-charged, high-profile crusade has shaken up the relatively musty movement the way strutting Professor Harold Hill ooom-pahed the daylights out of River City.
Three more major quakes--including one with a magnitude equal to that of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake--have since struck the same vicinity, along with hundreds of relatively minor shakes.
But while Emma's outward response seems relatively muted, she has been irrevocably shaken.
Some 35,000 people died, and confidence in the ability of the relatively independent (since 1782) Irish Parliament to maintain stability was profoundly shaken.
Although the genetic algorithm can be very efficient for exploration of large variable spaces, it is improbable that a 'global optimum' can be precisely identified because of the relatively small number of shaking flask experiments usually performed.
Their strategies are about creating new opportunities in a market either by shaking up relatively stable level 1 industries or by trying to control the direction of the market in industries with higher levels of uncertainty.
